How to insert an image to the Longtext column that has an HTML Formatting?

[leinharte]

I tried to insert an image to the longtext type column that has an html formatting, with this html tags.

<img src='test.jpg'>

However, It didn't work. At the detail view, the image showed like this.

Could you help me, please.

Instead of using your image string that you are, insert a URL to an image you find online. See if that works.

I think the problem you're having is that the image you're trying to use doesn't really exist anywhere. You either need to use a URL to an image somewhere online, or use a column that has an image file inside it.

@MultiTech , thank you for your response.

<1. URL image>

A url image also does not work. I tried to use the url that was copied from an online image through Share → Click to copy link.
             <img src="https://images.app.goo.gl/XQLKfUiSway2x6Us7" >
This does not work.

<2. or use a column that has an image file inside it.>

Could you explain some more about that? I can't figure it out?

Your link is not a link to an image, it is a link to a FB page. You have to provide a direct link to the image itself.

Try with this URL for the same image:

https://scontent.fmad6-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/271091232_466906344797077_1660957802792282013_n.jpg?_nc_cat=1&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=09cbfe&_nc_ohc=re7Cd-y-Fq4AX9M9QHh&_nc_ht=scontent.fmad6-1.fna&oh=00_AT8QHC393v4xtdHUR7WNMJZWJBseHG4Jpo_atrlmTY1rRw&oe=62D4B6FC

@Joseph_Seddik , thank you. Your url worked.

It's a big image.

Since we can't control the size of an image and can't use images in Google Drive, the html img tag is not handy for me for now.

Yep, that's a bummer, you may want to comment your need here.

Anyway, if you are planning to add images to your html, I suggest images that are your own and you can control it's size. I think even SVG is a better solution inside html, but I haven't tested it. I'm just using html for tables

I want to put an image between sentences.

I appreciate your suggestions. Is it possible to put my own image inside html, by the way? If I save my own picture to Google Drive, then can I put it inside html?

Idk about GDrive because I don't use it, but I think that shareable urls are not public urls either.

There are ways to have public urls, like uploading files to a cloud storage.

Also I think that there are websites that convert the GDrive URL to a public URL but I'm not sure. I think @Steve suggested something like that to someone

Holy cow! Thank you for your kind explanation.
